Tool (band)

"We barely remember Who or what came before This precious moment We are choosing to be here Right now"

"Stay inside of this holy reality This holy experience Choosing to be here in this body"

"Celebrate this chance to be Alive and breathing"

"This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality Embrace this moment, remember: We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion"

"My blood is bruised and borrowed You thieving bastards, you have Turned my blood cold and bitter Beat my compassion black and blue"

"Black Then White are All I see In my infancy Red and yellow then came to be Reaching out to me Lets me seeThere is So Much More and Beckons me To look through to these Infinite possibilities As below, so above and beyond, I imagine Drawn outside the lines of reason Push the envelope Watch it bendOver-thinking, over-analysing separates the body from the mind Withering my intuition, leaving all these opportunities behind"

"I embrace my Desire to I embrace my Desire to I embrace my Desire to Feel the rhythm, to Feel connected Enough to step aside and Weep like a widow, to Feel inspired, to Fathom the power, to Witness the beauty, to Bathe in the fountain, to Swing on the spiral, to Swing on the spiral, to To swing on the spiral of Our divinity and Still be a humanWith my feet upon the ground I Lose myself between the sounds and Open wide to suck it in, I Feel it move across my skin, I'm Reaching up and reaching out, I'm Reaching for the random or what- Ever will bewilder me, what- Ever will bewilder me, and Following our will and wind we May just go where no one's been, we'll Ride the spiral to the end and May just go where no one's been Spiral out, keep going…"

"I have come curiously close to the end—down Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole"

"I may find peace within the emptiness"

"And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping The moon tells me a secret—my confidant"

"I must crucify the ego before it's far too late"

"And we will come to find that we are all one mind"

"I'm a former employee of Area 51. I-I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and..."

"What we're thinking of as—as aliens, uh—they're—th-they're extradimensional beings that an earlier precursor of the, um, the space programme made contact with. Uh, they-they are not what they claim to be."

"The government knows about them. And, th-there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving the population to now. They are not! They want those major population centres wiped out so that the—the few that are left will be more easily controllable."

"And if there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now And I still may"

"I'm trying to remember when, but it makes me dizzy"

"Seems like I've been here before Seems so familiar Seems like I'm slipping Into a dream within a dream"

"It's the way you whisper Drag me under Takes me home"

"People tell me what to say What to think and what to play"

"I know you well, you are part of me I know you better than I know myself"

"You are just a part of me"

"Trembling at the thought of feeling"

"Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul"

"I am scared like you"

"If consequences dictate My course of action, I should I should play God and just Shoot you myself"

"Choices always were a problem for you"

"What you need is someone strong to guide you…like me"

"If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me"

"Just do everything I tell you to do"

"Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow What you need is someone strong to guide you"

"My gods will Become me When he speaks He speaks through me He has needs Like I do We both want To rape you"

"I had a friend once, He took some acid Now he thinks he's a fire engine."

"I don't want to be hostile I don't want to be dismal But I don't want to rot in an Apathetic existence, either"

"You know it hurt me But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise"

"Do unto others what has been done to you"

"There's a shadow just behind me Shrouding every step I take Making every promise empty Pointing every finger at me"

"Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done?"

"I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a centre in you I will chew it up and leave I will work to elevate you Just enough to bring you down"

"Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over"

"I want what I want"

"My compassion is broken now"

"So smell my soul is burning"

"If I let you, you would make me destroy myself. In order to survive you, I must first survive myself. And I can sink no further. And I cannot forgive you. There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you; there's no other choice. Shameless, now. Nameless, now. I'm nothing, now. I'm no one, now. But my soul must be iron 'cause my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless. And my fear is naked!"

"Dead inside!"

"You're dancing in quicksand"

"Twice as clear as heaven Twice as loud as reason"

"How could I let this bring me back to my knees?"

"I'm helpless and I'm awake"

"Free yourself from yourself"
